Can best before Oct 07, 2027, drunk Jul 26, 2026.
Another absurd best before date. Oh, this IPA has a two year shelf life? Please tell me more....
It's smells clean and fruity, though, with apparent hop and lots of crackery malt. No oxidation or wort or weird additives.
But unfortunately it's extremely seltzery-thin in the mouth, which causes the hop acids to feel more dry and acidic than they normally would be if there was ample malt/body. A shame because there's actually a resonable amount of hopping here, and it's clean. Just need to jack up that body.

Fairly clean, golden colour with an off-white head, decent stay and some sticky-spotty lacing. An interesting, fresh Italian Pilsner nose over the Vienna-Munich malts. The spicy, herbal Pils taste continues in the flavours with a tad wheat and the mild Vienna malts in the background. A touch of bitterness in the end. Quite a refreshing Vienna, that fits more the Italian Pilsner style, with hints of Vienna lager. Fine with me :P

Part of the Hop Stars Mixtape Vol. 1, pouring a lightly hazed, very light golden-yellow colour with a white cap, good stay and some decent foamy lacing. Pink grapefruit aromas with hints of wax, oats. The taste is milder with the grapefruit juice, a touch of peach and again - a little wax-oats. A fairly crisp mouthfeel with enough dryness. Not a bad Hazy Light IPA, but the waxy-peach is a tad off.

This dark IPA poured a hazy dark amber colour with a big, creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include roasted malt, pine, orange citrus and light cocoa. First swig was different, very sharp. Thinner than expected. Flavours a lot more hoppy than expected also. Flavours of grass, pine, coffee, black toast and wee bit of cocoa. Finish is quite hoppy with roasted malt and hop bitterness lingering.

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cinnamon and cloves with lightly caramelized malt notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some cinnamon and light cloves notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable pumpkin ale with good drinkability.

A slight haze, bright, very light yellowish colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. Lime juice aromas over mild malts. A mild, thin mouthfeel with a touch of dryness. Lime juice flavours, but not really sour. Just nicely balanced with the light malt base. A very light lager with a touch of fresh lime juice. Good for those who like it mild.

Can from the LCBO. Clear very dark mahogany under a large foamy khaki coloured head that recedes slowly leaving tight lace. Nose is roasted malt, light caramel and chocolate with coconut, tropical fruit, nectarine, grass and pine. Light caramel sweetness with a medium- dark chocolate, pine and grass bitterness. Mouth is medium and creamy with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish.
